All Activity

A great time was had by everyone who attended tonight's solo piano concert. Alan Broadbent played a number of standards, harmonically rich interpretations of "Blue in Green" and "Reflections in D," plus several new originals. I think that he enjoyed his time here.

Highest 2 Lowest - Hmmm, not the usual stuff.

I'll see your Bobby Dillon and match you with a MIcah Parsons.

Mack Avenue was not vending at the Detroit Jazz Festival, but they were advertising on all of the "jumbotrons". Those ads were very much including the Strata East items.

Hey mister yellow and green man ..

They told me in the spring that they would announce a second wave in the fall, but I haven't heard any updates. We can hope and watch.

I once drove from Toronto to Montreal to see Tim Hardin, maybe with this group. He was great but on this record the backing musicians almost upstage him with their power. I better listen to that Richie Havens record.

Is the legacy over already? I haven't heard about anything new coming out. Is there a second wave of releases on the way?

I'm not familiar with the Ghost Train Orchestra, but I note that their program at Big Ears will consist of compositions of Moondog.

Been planning this one for a while ... I put together snips of Percy from his appearance on WKCR's Jazz Alternatives as Musician Host. And today September 11, happens to be the anniversary of the day he bought his first tenor saxophone, with a little help from his Pop. This is chaptered so you can hover your mouse to see the topics covered. I hope people enjoy this, there are other clips I didn't use and some I couldn't find, including Percy talking about how different saxophone models are like a woman. So there might be a Part 2 coming up.

But those guys were just too damn "serious".

My favorite Havens album! "No Opportunity Necessary...", "Inside of Him", "The Klan", "From The Prison", "Run Shaker Life" all great cuts to me. And the live one we've been discussing is my favorite Hardin album. Wonderful musicianship on both.

Week 15 picks https://doorfliesopen.com/2025/09/11/cfl-beat-248/ https://pifflespodcast.com/blog/piffles-picks-week-15-2025/ My picks... I'm picking the four home teams this week. Tiger-Cats over Blue Bombers - I think the Ticats are too good to let Streveler beat them. Strevy hasn't looked good this year. Lions over Redblacks - It's very rare for an Eastern team to win a night game in the Pacific time zone. But two of the Lions' four starting defensive linemen will be out with injuries, and that might be enough to give Crum a chance. Argonauts over Elks - I'll be rooting for the Argos, so I'm picking them. But I wouldn't bet money on this game. Too unpredictable. Roughriders over Alouettes - MBT will be back, which is very good news. But the Riders have to be good to win so many close games, so I'm going with them. The Riders are 10-2 for only the third time in their history. ***** Playoff Scenarios https://www.cfl.ca/2025/09/11/112th-grey-cup-playoff-scenarios-riders-look-to-punch-post-season-ticket/ ***** Game Notes https://www.cfl.ca/2025/09/11/game-notes-what-you-need-to-know-ahead-of-week-15/ ***** Week 15 previews https://www.cfl.ca/2025/09/11/4-storylines-to-watch-in-week-15/ https://www.cfl.ca/2025/09/11/3-keys-to-victory-for-hamilton-winnipeg-in-week-15/ https://cflnewshub.com/cfl-news/hamilton-tiger-cats/cfl-week-15-winnipeg-blue-bombers-hamilton-tiger-cats/ https://3downnation.com/2025/09/11/all-cfl-dl-casey-sayles-db-robert-panabaker-return-for-hamilton-tiger-cats-vs-bombers/ https://3downnation.com/2025/09/11/winnipeg-blue-bombers-to-start-chris-streveler-demerio-houston-against-hamilton/ https://cflnewshub.com/cfl-news/collaros-ruled-out-on-wednesday-bomber-look-to-start-streveler-but-should-wilson-get-a-chance/ https://www.cfl.ca/2025/09/11/3-keys-to-victory-for-bc-ottawa-in-week-15/ https://3downnation.com/2025/09/11/qb-dru-brown-to-dress-as-backup-for-ottawa-redblacks-in-rematch-with-b-c/ https://3downnation.com/2025/09/11/b-c-lions-lose-two-d-line-starters-get-one-back-for-rematch-with-redblacks/ https://www.tsn.ca/cfl/article/toronto-argos-to-honour-john-candy-with-tribute-game-saturday/ https://www.cfl.ca/2025/09/11/5-things-to-know-ahead-of-edmonton-vs-toronto/ ***** ***** ***** *****
